Simon Riggs 5457a130d3 Reduce scope of changes for COPY FREEZE.
Allow support only for freezing tuples by explicit
command. Previous coding mistakenly extended
slightly beyond what was agreed as correct on -hackers.
So essentially a partial revoke of earlier work,
leaving just the COPY FREEZE command.

Tom Lane 7b90469b71 Allow adding values to an enum type created in the current transaction.
Normally it is unsafe to allow ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE in a transaction block,
because instances of the value could be added to indexes later in the same
transaction, and then they would still be accessible even if the
transaction rolls back.  However, we can allow this if the enum type itself
was created in the current transaction, because then any such indexes would
have to go away entirely on rollback.

The reason for allowing this is to support pg_upgrade's new usage of
pg_restore --single-transaction: in --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump emits
enum types as a succession of ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE commands so that it can
preserve the values' OIDs.  The support is a bit limited, so we'll leave
it undocumented.

Simon Riggs 8de72b66a2 COPY FREEZE and mark committed on fresh tables.
When a relfilenode is created in this subtransaction or
a committed child transaction and it cannot otherwise
be seen by our own process, mark tuples committed ahead
of transaction commit for all COPY commands in same
transaction. If FREEZE specified on COPY
and pre-conditions met then rows will also be frozen.
Both options designed to avoid revisiting rows after commit,
increasing performance of subsequent commands after
data load and upgrade. pg_restore changes later.

Tom Lane da63fec7db Add missing buffer lock acquisition in GetTupleForTrigger().
If we had not been holding buffer pin continuously since the tuple was
initially fetched by the UPDATE or DELETE query, it would be possible for
VACUUM or a page-prune operation to move the tuple while we're trying to
copy it.  This would result in a garbage "old" tuple value being passed to
an AFTER ROW UPDATE or AFTER ROW DELETE trigger.  The preconditions for
this are somewhat improbable, and the timing constraints are very tight;
so it's not so surprising that this hasn't been reported from the field,
even though the bug has been there a long time.

Problem found by Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all active branches.

Tom Lane 3c84046490 Fix assorted bugs in CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Commit 8cb53654db, which introduced DROP
INDEX CONCURRENTLY, managed to break CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY via a poor
choice of catalog state representation.  The pg_index state for an index
that's reached the final pre-drop stage was the same as the state for an
index just created by CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.  This meant that the
(necessary) change to make RelationGetIndexList ignore about-to-die indexes
also made it ignore freshly-created indexes; which is catastrophic because
the latter do need to be considered in HOT-safety decisions.  Failure to
do so leads to incorrect index entries and subsequently wrong results from
queries depending on the concurrently-created index.

To fix, add an additional boolean column "indislive" to pg_index, so that
the freshly-created and about-to-die states can be distinguished.  (This
change obviously is only possible in HEAD.  This patch will need to be
back-patched, but in 9.2 we'll use a kluge consisting of overloading the
formerly-impossible state of indisvalid = true and indisready = false.)

In addition, change CREATE/DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY so that the pg_index
flag changes they make without exclusive lock on the index are made via
heap_inplace_update() rather than a normal transactional update.  The
latter is not very safe because moving the pg_index tuple could result in
concurrent SnapshotNow scans finding it twice or not at all, thus possibly
resulting in index corruption.  This is a pre-existing bug in CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY, which was copied into the DROP code.

In addition, fix various places in the code that ought to check to make
sure that the indexes they are manipulating are valid and/or ready as
appropriate.  These represent bugs that have existed since 8.2, since
a failed CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY could leave a corrupt or invalid
index behind, and we ought not try to do anything that might fail with
such an index.

Also fix RelationReloadIndexInfo to ensure it copies all the pg_index
columns that are allowed to change after initial creation.  Previously we
could have been left with stale values of some fields in an index relcache
entry.  It's not clear whether this actually had any user-visible
consequences, but it's at least a bug waiting to happen.

In addition, do some code and docs review for DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY;
some cosmetic code cleanup but mostly addition and revision of comments.

This will need to be back-patched, but in a noticeably different form,
so I'm committing it to HEAD before working on the back-patch.

Tom Lane 532994299e Revert patch for taking fewer snapshots.
This reverts commit d573e239f0, "Take fewer
snapshots".  While that seemed like a good idea at the time, it caused
execution to use a snapshot that had been acquired before locking any of
the tables mentioned in the query.  This created user-visible anomalies
that were not present in any prior release of Postgres, as reported by
Tomas Vondra.  While this whole area could do with a redesign (since there
are related cases that have anomalies anyway), it doesn't seem likely that
any future patch would be reasonably back-patchable; and we don't want 9.2
to exhibit a behavior that's subtly unlike either past or future releases.
Hence, revert to prior code while we rethink the problem.

Heikki Linnakangas dbdf9679d7 Use correct text domain for translating errcontext() messages.
errcontext() is typically used in an error context callback function, not
within an ereport() invocation like e.g errmsg and errdetail are. That means
that the message domain that the TEXTDOMAIN magic in ereport() determines
is not the right one for the errcontext() calls. The message domain needs to
be determined by the C file containing the errcontext() call, not the file
containing the ereport() call.

Fix by turning errcontext() into a macro that passes the TEXTDOMAIN to use
for the errcontext message. "errcontext" was used in a few places as a
variable or struct field name, I had to rename those out of the way, now
that errcontext is a macro.

We've had this problem all along, but this isn't doesn't seem worth
backporting. It's a fairly minor issue, and turning errcontext from a
function to a macro requires at least a recompile of any external code that
calls errcontext().

Tom Lane 5ed6546cf7 Fix handling of inherited check constraints in ALTER COLUMN TYPE.
This case got broken in 8.4 by the addition of an error check that
complains if ALTER TABLE ONLY is used on a table that has children.
We do use ONLY for this situation, but it's okay because the necessary
recursion occurs at a higher level.  So we need to have a separate
flag to suppress recursion without making the error check.

Alvaro Herrera 04f28bdb84 Fix ALTER EXTENSION / SET SCHEMA
In its original conception, it was leaving some objects into the old
schema, but without their proper pg_depend entries; this meant that the
old schema could be dropped, causing future pg_dump calls to fail on the
affected database.  This was originally reported by Jeff Frost as #6704;
there have been other complaints elsewhere that can probably be traced
to this bug.

To fix, be more consistent about altering a table's subsidiary objects
along the table itself; this requires some restructuring in how tables
are relocated when altering an extension -- hence the new
AlterTableNamespaceInternal routine which encapsulates it for both the
ALTER TABLE and the ALTER EXTENSION cases.

There was another bug lurking here, which was unmasked after fixing the
previous one: certain objects would be reached twice via the dependency
graph, and the second attempt to move them would cause the entire
operation to fail.  Per discussion, it seems the best fix for this is to
do more careful tracking of objects already moved: we now maintain a
list of moved objects, to avoid attempting to do it twice for the same
object.

Kevin Grittner 6868ed7491 Throw error if expiring tuple is again updated or deleted.
This prevents surprising behavior when a FOR EACH ROW trigger
BEFORE UPDATE or BEFORE DELETE directly or indirectly updates or
deletes the the old row.  Prior to this patch the requested action
on the row could be silently ignored while all triggered actions
based on the occurence of the requested action could be committed.
One example of how this could happen is if the BEFORE DELETE
trigger for a "parent" row deleted "children" which had trigger
functions to update summary or status data on the parent.

This also prevents similar surprising problems if the query has a
volatile function which updates a target row while it is already
being updated.

There are related issues present in FOR UPDATE cursors and READ
COMMITTED queries which are not handled by this patch.  These
issues need further evalution to determine what change, if any, is
needed.

Where the new error messages are generated, in most cases the best
fix will be to move code from the BEFORE trigger to an AFTER
trigger.  Where this is not feasible, the trigger can avoid the
error by re-issuing the triggering statement and returning NULL.

Documentation changes will be submitted in a separate patch.

Tom Lane e1e60694b4 Make CREATE AGGREGATE complain if the initcond is invalid for the datatype.
The initial transition value is stored as a text string and not fed to the
transition type's input function until runtime (so that values such as
"now" don't get frozen at creation time).  Previously, CREATE AGGREGATE
didn't do anything with it but that, which meant that even erroneous values
would be accepted and not complained of until the aggregate is used.  This
seems unhelpful, and it's confused at least one user, as in Rhys Stewart's
recent report.  It seems worth taking a few more cycles to invoke the input
function and verify that the value is acceptable.  We can't do this if the
transition type is polymorphic, but in normal aggregates we know the actual
transition type so we can call the right input function.

Tom Lane 11e131854f Improve ruleutils.c's heuristics for dealing with rangetable aliases.
The previous scheme had bugs in some corner cases involving tables that had
been renamed since a view was made.  This could result in dumped views that
failed to reload or reloaded incorrectly, as seen in bug #7553 from Lloyd
Albin, as well as in some pgsql-hackers discussion back in January.  Also,
its behavior for printing EXPLAIN plans was sometimes confusing because of
willingness to use the same alias for multiple RTEs (it was Ashutosh
Bapat's complaint about that aspect that started the January thread).

To fix, ensure that each RTE in the query has a unique unqualified alias,
by modifying the alias if necessary (we add "_" and digits as needed to
create a non-conflicting name).  Then we can just print its variables with
that alias, avoiding the confusing and bug-prone scheme of sometimes
schema-qualifying variable names.  In EXPLAIN, it proves to be expedient to
take the further step of only assigning such aliases to RTEs that are
actually referenced in the query, since the planner has a habit of
generating extra RTEs with the same alias in situations such as
inheritance-tree expansion.

Although this fixes a bug of very long standing, I'm hesitant to back-patch
such a noticeable behavioral change.  My experiments while creating a
regression test convinced me that actually incorrect output (as opposed to
confusing output) occurs only in very narrow cases, which is backed up by
the lack of previous complaints from the field.  So we may be better off
living with it in released branches; and in any case it'd be smart to let
this ripen awhile in HEAD before we consider back-patching it.

Also, since heapam.h no longer requires xlog.h, many files that do

Tom Lane 7abaa6b9d3 Fix issues with checks for unsupported transaction states in Hot Standby.
The GUC check hooks for transaction_read_only and transaction_isolation
tried to check RecoveryInProgress(), so as to disallow setting read/write
mode or serializable isolation level (respectively) in hot standby
sessions.  However, GUC check hooks can be called in many situations where
we're not connected to shared memory at all, resulting in a crash in
RecoveryInProgress().  Among other cases, this results in EXEC_BACKEND
builds crashing during child process start if default_transaction_isolation
is serializable, as reported by Heikki Linnakangas.  Protect those calls
by silently allowing any setting when not inside a transaction; which is
okay anyway since these GUCs are always reset at start of transaction.

Also, add a check to GetSerializableTransactionSnapshot() to complain
if we are in hot standby.  We need that check despite the one in
check_XactIsoLevel() because default_transaction_isolation could be
serializable.  We don't want to complain any sooner than this in such
cases, since that would prevent running transactions at all in such a
state; but a transaction can be run, if SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION is done
before setting a snapshot.  Per report some months ago from Robert Haas.

Tom Lane b53800355f Fix dependencies generated during ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX.
This command generated new pg_depend entries linking the index to the
constraint and the constraint to the table, which match the entries made
when a unique or primary key constraint is built de novo.  However, it did
not bother to get rid of the entries linking the index directly to the
table.  We had considered the issue when the ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX
patch was written, and concluded that we didn't need to get rid of the
extra entries.  But this is wrong: ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting such
redundant dependencies to exist, as reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.
On reflection it seems rather likely to break other things as well, since
there are many bits of code that crawl pg_depend for one purpose or
another, and most of them are pretty naive about what relationships they're
expecting to find.  Fortunately it's not that hard to get rid of the extra
dependency entries, so let's do that.

Tom Lane eaccfded98 Centralize the logic for detecting misplaced aggregates, window funcs, etc.
Formerly we relied on checking after-the-fact to see if an expression
contained aggregates, window functions, or sub-selects when it shouldn't.
This is grotty, easily forgotten (indeed, we had forgotten to teach
DefineIndex about rejecting window functions), and none too efficient
since it requires extra traversals of the parse tree.  To improve matters,
define an enum type that classifies all SQL sub-expressions, store it in
ParseState to show what kind of expression we are currently parsing, and
make transformAggregateCall, transformWindowFuncCall, and transformSubLink
check the expression type and throw error if the type indicates the
construct is disallowed.  This allows removal of a large number of ad-hoc
checks scattered around the code base.  The enum type is sufficiently
fine-grained that we can still produce error messages of at least the
same specificity as before.

Bringing these error checks together revealed that we'd been none too
consistent about phrasing of the error messages, so standardize the wording
a bit.

Also, rewrite checking of aggregate arguments so that it requires only one
traversal of the arguments, rather than up to three as before.

In passing, clean up some more comments left over from add_missing_from
support, and annotate some tests that I think are dead code now that that's
gone.  (I didn't risk actually removing said dead code, though.)

Tom Lane af026b5d9b Fix longstanding crash-safety bug with newly-created-or-reset sequences.
If a crash occurred immediately after the first nextval() call for a serial
column, WAL replay would restore the sequence to a state in which it
appeared that no nextval() had been done, thus allowing the first sequence
value to be returned again by the next nextval() call; as reported in
bug #6748 from Xiangming Mei.

More generally, the problem would occur if an ALTER SEQUENCE was executed
on a freshly created or reset sequence.  (The manifestation with serial
columns was introduced in 8.2 when we added an ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY step
to serial column creation.)  The cause is that sequence creation attempted
to save one WAL entry by writing out a WAL record that made it appear that
the first nextval() had already happened (viz, with is_called = true),
while marking the sequence's in-database state with log_cnt = 1 to show
that the first nextval() need not emit a WAL record.  However, ALTER
SEQUENCE would emit a new WAL entry reflecting the actual in-database state
(with is_called = false).  Then, nextval would allocate the first sequence
value and set is_called = true, but it would trust the log_cnt value and
not emit any WAL record.  A crash at this point would thus restore the
sequence to its post-ALTER state, causing the next nextval() call to return
the first sequence value again.

To fix, get rid of the idea of logging an is_called status different from
reality.  This means that the first nextval-driven WAL record will happen
at the first nextval call not the second, but the marginal cost of that is
pretty negligible.  In addition, make sure that ALTER SEQUENCE resets
log_cnt to zero in any case where it touches sequence parameters that
affect future nextval results.  This will result in some user-visible
changes in the contents of a sequence's log_cnt column, as reflected in the
patch's regression test changes; but no application should be depending on
that anyway, since it was already true that log_cnt changes rather
unpredictably depending on checkpoint timing.

In addition, make some basically-cosmetic improvements to get rid of
sequence.c's undesirable intimacy with page layout details.  It was always
really trying to WAL-log the contents of the sequence tuple, so we should
have it do that directly using a HeapTuple's t_data and t_len, rather than
backing into it with some magic assumptions about where the tuple would be
on the sequence's page.

Tom Lane c92be3c059 Avoid pre-determining index names during CREATE TABLE LIKE parsing.
Formerly, when trying to copy both indexes and comments, CREATE TABLE LIKE
had to pre-assign names to indexes that had comments, because it made up an
explicit CommentStmt command to apply the comment and so it had to know the
name for the index.  This creates bad interactions with other indexes, as
shown in bug #6734 from Daniele Varrazzo: the preassignment logic couldn't
take any other indexes into account so it could choose a conflicting name.

To fix, add a field to IndexStmt that allows it to carry a comment to be
assigned to the new index.  (This isn't a user-exposed feature of CREATE
INDEX, only an internal option.)  Now we don't need preassignment of index
names in any situation.

I also took the opportunity to refactor DefineIndex to accept the IndexStmt
as such, rather than passing all its fields individually in a mile-long
parameter list.

IndexStmt or DefineIndex's API in released branches.  The bug exists back

an extension.  Even though the user related to the extension is not
nominally the owner, its OID appears on pg_shdepend and thus causes
problems when the user is to be dropped.

This commit adds code to change the "ownership" of the extension itself,
not of the contained objects.  This is fine because it's currently only
called from REASSIGN OWNED, which would also modify the ownership of the
contained objects.  However, this is not sufficient for a working ALTER
OWNER implementation extension.

Back-patch to 9.1, where extensions were introduced.

Tom Lane 541ffa65c3 Prevent CREATE TABLE LIKE/INHERITS from (mis) copying whole-row Vars.
If a CHECK constraint or index definition contained a whole-row Var (that
is, "table.*"), an attempt to copy that definition via CREATE TABLE LIKE or
table inheritance produced incorrect results: the copied Var still claimed
to have the rowtype of the source table, rather than the created table.

For the LIKE case, it seems reasonable to just throw error for this
situation, since the point of LIKE is that the new table is not permanently
coupled to the old, so there's no reason to assume its rowtype will stay
compatible.  In the inheritance case, we should ideally allow such
constraints, but doing so will require nontrivial refactoring of CREATE
TABLE processing (because we'd need to know the OID of the new table's
rowtype before we adjust inherited CHECK constraints).  In view of the lack
of previous complaints, that doesn't seem worth the risk in a back-patched
bug fix, so just make it throw error for the inheritance case as well.

Along the way, replace change_varattnos_of_a_node() with a more robust
function map_variable_attnos(), which is capable of being extended to
handle insertion of ConvertRowtypeExpr whenever we get around to fixing
the inheritance case nicely, and in the meantime it returns a failure
indication to the caller so that a helpful message with some context can be
thrown.  Also, this code will do the right thing with subselects (if we
ever allow them in CHECK or indexes), and it range-checks varattnos before
using them to index into the map array.

Per report from Sergey Konoplev.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

Tom Lane ae90128dc5 Fix NOTIFY to cope with I/O problems, such as out-of-disk-space.
The LISTEN/NOTIFY subsystem got confused if SimpleLruZeroPage failed,
which would typically happen as a result of a write() failure while
attempting to dump a dirty pg_notify page out of memory.  Subsequently,
all attempts to send more NOTIFY messages would fail with messages like
"Could not read from file "pg_notify/nnnn" at offset nnnnn: Success".
Only restarting the server would clear this condition.  Per reports from
Kevin Grittner and Christoph Berg.

Back-patch to 9.0, where the problem was introduced during the
LISTEN/NOTIFY rewrite.

Peter Eisentraut b8b2e3b2de Replace int2/int4 in C code with int16/int32
The latter was already the dominant use, and it's preferable because
in C the convention is that intXX means XX bits.  Therefore, allowing
mixed use of int2, int4, int8, int16, int32 is obviously confusing.

Remove the typedefs for int2 and int4 for now.  They don't seem to be
widely used outside of the PostgreSQL source tree, and the few uses
can probably be cleaned up by the time this ships.

Tom Lane cfa0f4255b Improve tests for whether we can skip queueing RI enforcement triggers.
During an update of a PK row, we can skip firing the RI trigger if any old
key value is NULL, because then the row could not have had any matching
rows in the FK table.  Conversely, during an update of an FK row, the
outcome is determined if any new key value is NULL.  In either case it
becomes unnecessary to compare individual key values.

This patch was inspired by discussion of Vik Reykja's patch to use IS NOT
DISTINCT semantics for the key comparisons.  In the event there is no need
for that and so this patch looks nothing like his, but he should still get
credit for having re-opened consideration of the trigger skip logic.

Tom Lane f5297bdfe4 Refer to the default foreign key match style as MATCH SIMPLE internally.
Previously we followed the SQL92 wording, "MATCH <unspecified>", but since
SQL99 there's been a less awkward way to refer to the default style.

In addition to the code changes, pg_constraint.confmatchtype now stores
this match style as 's' (SIMPLE) rather than 'u' (UNSPECIFIED).  This
doesn't affect pg_dump or psql because they use pg_get_constraintdef()
to reconstruct foreign key definitions.  But other client-side code might
examine that column directly, so this change will have to be marked as
an incompatibility in the 9.3 release notes.

Peter Eisentraut 15b1918e7d Improve reporting of permission errors for array types
Because permissions are assigned to element types, not array types,
complaining about permission denied on an array type would be
misleading to users.  So adjust the reporting to refer to the element
type instead.

In order not to duplicate the required logic in two dozen places,
refactor the permission denied reporting for types a bit.

Robert Haas b50991eedb Fix more crash-safe visibility map bugs, and improve comments.
In lazy_scan_heap, we could issue bogus warnings about incorrect
information in the visibility map, because we checked the visibility
map bit before locking the heap page, creating a race condition.  Fix
by rechecking the visibility map bit before we complain.  Rejigger
some related logic so that we rely on the possibly-outdated
all_visible_according_to_vm value as little as possible.

In heap_multi_insert, it's not safe to clear the visibility map bit
before beginning the critical section.  The visibility map is not
crash-safe unless we treat clearing the bit as a critical operation.
Specifically, if the transaction were to error out after we set the
bit and before entering the critical section, we could end up writing
the heap page to disk (with the bit cleared) and crashing before the
visibility map page made it to disk.  That would be bad.  heap_insert
has this correct, but somehow the order of operations got rearranged
when heap_multi_insert was added.

Also, add some more comments to visibilitymap_test, lazy_scan_heap,
and IndexOnlyNext, expounding on concurrency issues.

Per extensive code review by Andres Freund, and further review by Tom
Lane, who also made the original report about the bogus warnings.
